Big Data is defined in “Critical Questions for Big Data” as
a cultural, technological, and scholarly phenomenon that
rests on the interplay of:
1. Technology: maximizing computation power and
algorithmic accuracy to gather, analyze, link, and
compare large data sets
2. Analysis: drawing on large data sets to identify
patterns in order to make economic, social, technical,
and legal claims.
3. Mythology: the widespread belief that large data sets
offer a higher form of intelligence and knowledge that
can generate insights that were previously impossible,
with the aura of truth, objectivity, and accuracy.
